The screenshot shows the New Blank document template or is there an error when the user selects it?

Alternatively, has the user created a template but cannot see that new template?

The template has to be saved in the right place for it to be visible in the New file menu.

If you open a blank document and go to Save it. Choose "Word template (*.dotx)" in the Save as type options and the file path should change automatically to where the template needs to go. Mine changes to:

C:\Users\robert.henson\Documents\Custom Office Templates
We have a company Normal.dotm & some users template work & some don't?I've tried replacing the Normal.dotm with one that's works

in this location User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates however it still hasn't taken effect?

Hi All,

This word template was being redistributed via a group policy that is linked to a mapped drive i unmapped the drive logged off & on. I then did a gpupdate /force.& then we were good to go.

Thank you all for your input.
